Server Requirements
In order to run this theme, your server must have PHP5 and you must have WordPress 3.x installed.
If you’re not running at least PHP5 on your web server, it’s a bit of a security risk, anyway. Any respectable web host should update you for free if you just ask. If you’re on some sort of dedicated server plan, they will sometimes charge you a small fee to update.
Fonts
The logo of this theme uses the Aller font. You should download the whole family. It’s a cool font and it’s free!
